>Property rights would ideally be enforced by the government, with common law, which is based on protecting people's human rights ..., determining who owns what. And how exactly do they determine that? What happens when people disagree about ownership? What makes the government's decisions more valid than the individuals'? >If the judgment is unjust, but resisting it with force leads to far more violence against the innocent, then it could wrong to resist in such a manner. So it's okay to ignore property rights if enforcing them would cause harm? >The best course of action in my opinion is to strongly argue for what one believes is justice as long as the freedom of speech exists. And what will this achieve? What mechanism is there for government to recognise and rectify its mistake? >is just two wolves and a sheep voting on whats for dinner. As opposed to two wolves agreeing that they own the grass, and enforcing that until the sheep dies. Power imbalances will always enable abuse, but democracy at least ensures that the power imbalance benefits more people than it harms. |
